Escape from Jungle Island is my favorite of the Superkid novels. I just love the adventure. Valerie is the easiest Superkid character for me to write, I think because she’s the boldest and in many ways, the most fearless.
Secrets
- Some people don’t realize that if you read the Manwan language backward, you can actually find out exactly what they’re saying!
- I came up with Valerie’s last name by closing my eyes and sticking my finger in a phone book.
- I placed Calypso Island and Jungle Island near Costa Rica mainly because I wanted a Caiman crocodile in the story.

My daughter did her second book report on Escape from Jungle Island. She read it in 2 days. That’s a record. She thought it was a great book. She says, “I liked it. It was cool and adventurous. I could just see her running through the jungle. I could see Caspian. It was so cool, I couldn’t stop reading it.” Rave reviews for Mr. Maselli from my 9 year old. Of course I had to read the book too in order to ensure accuracy on her book report. I really appreciate the Word value installed in it. I like for Carrie to know that her “peers” seek God in every situation. Stories like these make serving God real and natural. Good job. — Camille, Texas

I love this book it is so good. The second I picked up this book I could not put it down. It is very inspiring I have to say that. You will love it I promise you.
It is about a girl who goes on vacation and flyes to the wrong island then she meets this boy that has leprosy and has been band from his tribe. He tries to help her get away from the island but keeps running into dead ends. Finally she gets off but I won’t tell you how.

The Escape from Jungle Island, book #3 of the Commander Kellie and the Superkids Adventures is one of the best books I have ever read. My mom and I read it together. It keeps you in suspense throughout the entire story.
There are some really funny parts and some really scary parts. You never know what to expect.
Valerie goes on vacation to see her parents with her friend Rapper in the SuperCraft. On the way, the NME Frightcraft shot them down on Jungle Island. Valerie went for a walk while Rapper fixed the SuperCraft and got lost. She met a boy who had leprosy and was banished from his village. Their adventures while trying to get Valerie to Calypso Island were really awesome! It was really exciting how they were able to witness to the villagers and Valerie was able to overcome fear.
I highly recommend this and all the Superkids adventures to children of all ages and their parents. It is a fun read-aloud book. — Amazon.com Reviewer, Idaho
